map is simply a loop construct, like foreach(), while() or even grep(). If you have a composite type (like hash or array) you need a loop to get at all values. If you have a composite type inside another composite type (for example a HashofArrays) you obviously need a loop inside a loop aka nested loops. For even higher dimensions you need the corresponding number of nested loop constructs. Right?
Now you have a HashOfArrays, a composite type of dimension 2, so you need a nested loop. If you want to use map (instead of foreach) then you need a nested map, i.e. a map inside a map. The outer map is for the hash, the inner map is for the array.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
